Tonights good deed saw us heading up to Welling to help out our friends at the Greenwich and Bexley Hospice shop. We set off at seven sharp (as always) with two groups, the runner and the power walkers. Tonight i was looking after the walkers and Susan lead the way for the runners.

One arrival at the shop we were greeted by Lorraine who always has a big smile and a glass of water waiting for us. Tonight we were taking on the children's toy department. The whole room was in need of a Goodgym special and thats exactly what we did. With cleaning cloths and polish in hand we took everything off the shelves and gave it all a spring clean before redoing the whole display again. With the weather we've been having calling it a spring clean was by no means a lie. The weather has been awesome over the last few days. Once the displays were back up and looking dapper we grabbed a broom and got on with the finishing touches. If i say so myself the whole area did looked mighty fine.

IF I SAY SO MYSELF THE WHOLE AREA DID LOOK MIGHTY FINE

With no more to do it was time to say our good byes and thank yous before saddling up and heading bad down the hight street for home. Big shout out the the Mencap crew who had me looking after the walking group this evening, You were awesome. Especially Chris and Emanuel who i pushed into a walk run technique so we could reach our destination quicker. Well done. Last but not least, a massive knuckle touch to all those who come and Goodgym week in and week out. Monday evenings wouldn't be the same without you. Until next Monday, have an awesome week.............
